Knox is on trial with her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The two claim they were together at his apartment the night of the murder. A third man, Rudy Guede, has already been convicted and sentenced to 30 years. "20/20" and Elizabeth Vargas have been following the case since the arrest, and has aired exclusive interviews with Knox's family, as well as obtained unprecedented access to both the prosecution and defense.

And: From hair color to manicures, if you want to look your best and save money, the answer often is "do it yourself" treatments. But how about "do it yourself" cosmetic procedures, like chemical peels and injectibles? "Good Morning America " Consumer Correspondent Elizabeth Leamy reports.

Also: For many people the sun is more than a source of life and light, soaking in its rays is a fashion statement. But this billion-dollar-a-year business is not without controversy.

How do tanning salon employees respond when questioned about those health risks, especially cancer, by potential customers? "20/20" partnered with Cosmopolitan magazine on a joint undercover investigation to find out. JuJu Chang reports.
